well its green and eats wood rather quickly, its has a distinctive sound as well, kinda a powerful humming sound. leaves lots of dust as well. but it has been put in its place and is under control now. yup i got ahold of a pest control guy and he handled the situation well :D

yup that was what it took to get her under control, and she still has some spirit left, need to get the out feed table finished for her but thats tonights project :D had heard of the species and done some research threw you guys and on my own. i had asked about the bez zplitter and have to wait for that to get out in the market, bez says this late fall or winter possibly amd will make a over arm guard after a plan i saw on here that i have the plans for now. so have got some organizing to do and am having fun doing it. still need to educate my right hand to stop trying to turn it off though the old crafstman isnt there now . got more power and way better saw. but grin every time i turn her on :D :D

well jim// i had alot of examples to look at on here so i thought it might be my turn to try one. will have another in while but it will be in the distant future to many other things going on right now. it all happened because of you and the rest of you folks on here doing your best to help out the ones, who ask questions and get good advice form others in the know. and tyler said i would be in the hoos cow if i didnt keep my word :D

Larry,

Nice saw! I had a General 350 Tablesaw about 15 years ago with the Excalibur fence and slider. It was a fantastic machine. I went through some marital challenges (divorce) and sold all my stationary tools about 7 yrs ago. When I got back on my feet I purchased a MM 300 smart machine, though I did think real hard about purchasing my previous set-up. Good luck with your table saw, I am sure they will meet your expectation.
